Loving living in Austin, TX - working as a consultant teaching presentation skills at UT. Tom, my husband, is in the film industry as an audio/colorist expert. Wait until you see his studio! I am a teacher of emotional education and training people in first class presentation skills. We are both musicians as well - Tom is a drummer and I am a singer. We love meeting new people, traveling around the world and movies. And, we definitely love food! We welcome those who are looking for a wonderful space to stay for SXSW and ACL...and any other time of the year!

Reviews From Guests

Donna and Tom were lovely hosts. They were very flexible with scheduling and provided great recommendations for places to eat. The room was cozy and private. They also have a friendly cat!
Donna and Tom's house is within walking distance to many restaurants and a bike share rental station. Staying there provides easy access to Zilker Park, the river front trail and many of Austin's neighborhoods - including downtown. There is a bus stop nearby for those traveling without a car.
Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend staying here!

The setting for this place was lovely and picturesque, even in the winter, the room spacious and clean and the host and hostess very friendly and welcoming. We would recommend this accommodation for anyone wanting a quiet retreat when visiting Austin.

Tom and Donna's house and the room was just as described on the site. Their house is in a beautiful neighbourhood walking distance to cool bars, restaurants, downtown, the river and a lovely wooded area.
Both Tom and Donna are gracious and helpful hosts. We enjoyed some engaging and interesting conversations.

Very welcoming and comfortable stay! The location was great for accessing the downtown area and Zilker Park. Donna and Tom also gave us great recommendations for local food and music, which was especially helpful for our first visit to Austin.

Donna and Tom were fabulous hosts! I greatly enjoyed our chats - so thoughtful. The place has great home furnishings and the location was perfect for Zilker Park and not far from downtown. They quickly mailed us some forgotten items. I look forward to staying here again. Bravo!

I relocated to Austin temporarily for work and needed a place to stay for a week until I could move into my apartment. Donna and Tom were so sweet; excellent hosts and made me feel right at home. The location was perfect - central and close to everything. The room and bathroom were private, very clean, and quiet. I loved the artistic vibe of their home. Would definitely recommend it for anyone traveling to Austin!

Donna and Tom's room was really lovely. It is incredibly spacious and quiet and in a wonderful neighborhood. They are wonderful hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. They are really lovely people who were up for a chat but also gave us space when we wanted it. The private bathroom is also a plus. The space is very welcoming and clean. They also have the friendliest little cutie of a kitty named Tilly who was always up for a nice pet. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I were very happy with the lovely home that Donna and Tom allowed us to share while we visited Austin for a week. As soon as I arrived on Friday there was a cooling ice water drink in the bedroom for refreshment. My husband arrived on Saturday and we both were graciously greeted and provided information on the lovely neighborhood and all the great things to do in Austin. There home is so centrally located that walking to many of the lunch areas, and trendy eating establishments was so easy.
Though we were quite busy with our family members who live in Austin, Donna and Tom were always ready to help us with any plan that we had. The quiet bedroom and private bath had special soap and shampoo as we needed and much appreciated after a long day.
We were so happy to meet Donna and Tom and are looking forward to seeing them again when we visit Austin.
